Résumé anglais Identity-related conflict viewed through rival idealogical rhetoric in post-Soviet Ukraine In the now-independent Ukraine, historical myths are at the core of political instrumentalization of the past and of vigorous debate on the content and modes of construction of a “national” collective identity. The present Government powers aspire to a nation-State, banking on the quest for a Ukrainian singularity, with a complete break-away from Russianness, and on the ultimate condemnation of the crimes of communism. In complete opposition to this, an alternative discourse found itself on the cultural proximity with the Russians lying in Slavic and Orthodox ties and the legacy, common to all Soviet peoples, of the Victory over fascism. This article draws on ongoing research entailing the cross-reference and comparison of samples of currently maintained public discourse and rhetoric relating to areas of politics, religion, media, or ideology, whether in real or virtual contexts. Comparative study of the threads of logic running through them brought out the most commonly shared collective representations on which the two rival narratives are founded today.
